Bunbury Race 7

H.g. Bolton Sprint (L)

Stake: $135,000

WIND AND THE LION (10) stepped up to the mile last start in the Belmont Guineas and just didn't see out the journey. Back to 1200m here is a big tick, he drops a stack of weight and Pike hops in the saddle. Plenty to like about the set up today and he can return to winning form. ROCKIN' RUPERT (8) bolted in at the trials recently, but was a very progressive type through The Pinnacles last year. The wide draw will see him back in the run, but if he can pick up where he left off, he'll be storming home late. MAN CRUSH (1) looks well suited in this event and won't be far away. BABY PARIS (3) will be fitter now and can improve.

Second-up. First-up after three months crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 6th of 12 at Pinjarra in the LR Beaufine on July 5 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Repossession carrying 58kg at $26. Previously second-up 9th of 11 at Ascot in the G3 Roma Cup on April 12 over 1100m, 8 len behind The Boss Lady carrying 56.5kg at $21. Better for the fresh run and she can build on that

Second run back. First-up after nine months 5th of 12 at Pinjarra in the LR Beaufine on July 5 over 1000m, slow going 3 len behind Repossession carrying 55kg at $41. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at Belmont Park Rtg 77+ on June 22 2024 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Triple Jay with 58kg at $26. Didn't show enough first-up and needs to improve.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fifth of 9 at Ascot in the LR Scenic Blast January 25 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Twain's Angel carrying 54kg at $3.80. Previously first up; fifth of 12 at Ascot in the G3 Colonel Reeves November 16 over 1100m, 3 len behind Rope Them In carrying 55kg at $16. Improved nicely last campaign and he can pick up where he left off.

Last start crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 6th of 12 at Pinjarra in the LR Belmont Guineas on June 28 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Opportunistic with 57kg at $15. The race before that 5th of 12 at this track in the LR Raconteur on June 14 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Opportunistic with 59kg at $16. Better suited here and he can bounce back.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
